Power and Connection Via USB

1. Check that the on/off button on the back of the unit is set to “OFF.”

2. Plug the USB cable provided with the Keystation 61es keyboard to a free USB port on your computer.

3. Plug the other end of the USB cable to the USB input on the Keystation 61es keyboard.

The single USB cable not only powers the keyboard but also sends MIDI data to and from your computer system.

Using An External Power Supply

You can also use a power adapter (not included) with the following specification: 9V DC output, 250- 300mA, center positive.
Make sure you are not already powering the Keystation 49e keyboard via USB—if you are receiving power from the USB hub, no external

supply is needed. If not, then simply plug the power supply in to the “DC 9V” input and switch the power on.

Note: 

Do not leave the adapter plugged in for long periods of time if the unit is not in use.

Windows XP and Mac OS X

If you are using Windows XP or Mac OS X, you can now simply move the keyboard’s power switch to the “ON” position. Because the
Keystation 61es keyboard is class compliant, it will work without any further installation.

Other Operating Systems

If you are using an operating system other than OSX or Windows XP, please refer to our website at  www.m-audio.com for the latest

Keystation 61es drivers for Macintosh or Windows operating systems.

Installation in Mac OS9

If you do not have OMS installed, please run the OMS installer first. Otherwise start by “Installing the OMS Driver.”

Installing OMS:

Make sure that all programs are shut down before you begin the installer. Also make sure you have removed any dongles or copy

protection devices you may be using.

2. Double click on the icon. If a window appears, click “Open.”
